1 SYKES ENTERPRISES, INCORPORATED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES Revised December, 2015 INTRODUCTION The business and affairs of Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated, a Florida corporation (the Company ), are subject to the general oversight and authority of its Board of Directors (the Board ). The Board has adopted these guidelines to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its committees. Together with the Company s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and charters of the Board s Committees, these guidelines provide the authority and practices for governance of the Company. ROLE OF THE BOARD All corporate powers of the Company shall be exercised by or under the direction of, and the business and affairs of Company shall be managed under the direction of, the Board. BOARD STRUCTURE Board Size. The size of the Board will provide for sufficient experiential diversity among nonemployee directors while also facilitating substantive discussions in which each director can participate meaningfully. The Board size will be within the limits prescribed by Company's Bylaws, which currently provide that the Board may have no fewer than 3 and no more than 15 members. Independent Directors. A majority of the Board will consist of directors who satisfy the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ( SOX ), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission ) and the Nasdaq Stock Market ( Nasdaq ). Under the Nasdaq Rules, the Board is required to review factors affecting independence at the time a director is proposed for election or reelection. A director is not independent if the director is an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, or has any relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. This includes, but is not limited to, (1) a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company; (2) a director who accepted, or who has a Family Member (i.e., a person s spouse, parent, child or sibling, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person s home) who accepted, any payments from the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in excess of $60,000 during the current or any of the past three fiscal years, other than the following: (a) (b) compensation for board or board committee service; payments arising solely from investments in the Company s securities; 1
2 (c) compensation paid to a Family Member who is a non-executive employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; (d) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation; or (e) a loan to the extent permitted under Sarbanes-Oxley (but note that audit committee members are subject to additional, more stringent requirements under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules); (3) a director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company as an executive officer; (4) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following: (a) (b) payments arising solely from investments in the Company s securities; or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs; (5) a director of the company who is, or has a Family Member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of the Company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or (6) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a current partner of the Company s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company s outside auditor who worked on the Company s audit at any time during any of the past three years. Chairman and CEO. The Board currently has a policy requiring the separation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of the Board. Age and Term Limits. No individual shall be nominated to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, or be elected as a director by the Board of Directors, who is less than 21 years old or age 75 or older, or who has previously served for more than 20 years as a director of the Company at the time of the date of election. Other Directorships. Recognizing the substantial time commitment required of directors, it is expected that directors will serve on the board of directors of other companies which have a class of securities registered under 12 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( public company ), only to the extent that, in the judgment of the Board, such services do not detract from the directors' ability to devote the necessary time and attention to the Company. Change in Status. To avoid any potential conflict of interest, directors will not accept a seat on any additional public company board without first reviewing the matter with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In addition, an employee director will tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Board in the event of retirement or other substantial change in the nature of the director's employment or other significant responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance 2
3 Committee shall consider such resignation and recommend to the Board of Directors whether such resignation should be accepted. DIRECTOR SELECTION; QUALIFICATIONS; EDUCATION Director Candidates. Subject to the terms of the Bylaws, the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, will nominate a slate of director candidates for election at each annual meeting of shareholders and will elect directors to fill vacancies, including vacancies created as a result of any increase in the size of the Board, between annual meetings. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review and update the criteria for directors from time to time and make recommendations to the Board as appropriate. Such criteria will include considerations of age, skill, integrity, experience, time availability, appropriate listing standards, and applicable federal and state law and regulation. Each nominee for director must be selected or recommended by either a majority of the independent directors or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee which is comprised solely of independent directors. Independent Directors. As provided above, a majority of the Board must be comprised of independent directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq Rules. The Company shall disclose in its annual proxy statement those directors that the Board has determined to be independent under the Nasdaq Rules. If the Company fails to comply with the independence requirements in this paragraph due to one vacancy, or one director ceases to be independent due to circumstances beyond his or her reasonable control, the Company shall regain compliance with the independence requirements by the earlier of its next annual shareholders meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply with the independence requirements. The Company shall provide notice to Nasdaq immediately upon learning of the event or circumstance that caused the non-compliance with the independence requirements. The Board shall make an affirmative determination that each individual who is serving as an independent director is, in fact, independent, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, does not have any relationship with the Company that would impair such person s independence. Orientation. New directors will receive a comprehensive orientation from appropriate executives regarding the Company's business and affairs. Continuing Education. It is expected that, at least annually, all directors will participate in a continuing education event (which may coincide with a regular Board meeting) addressing, among other things, current developments and best practices in corporate governance. Reviews of aspects of the Company's operations will be presented by appropriate executives from time to time as part of the agenda of regular Board meetings. DIRECTOR RESPONSIBLITIES; BOARD MEETINGS Basic Duties. The basic duties of each director, under the Florida Business Corporation Act, are to discharge his or her duties as a director, including his or her duties as a member of a committee (a) in good faith, (b) with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and (c) in a manner that he or she believes to be in the best interests of the Company. In discharging that obligation, a director should be entitled to rely on the honesty and integrity of his or her fellow directors, senior executives, outside advisors and auditors. Number of Regular Meetings. The Board normally holds four regular meetings per year. Additional meetings may be scheduled as required. 3
4 Agenda and Briefing Material. An agenda for each Board meeting and briefing materials will, to the extent practicable in light of the timing of matters that require Board attention, be distributed to each director prior to each meeting. The Chairman of the Board will normally set the agenda for Board meetings. Any director may request the inclusion of specific items. Meeting Attendance. It is expected that each director will make every effort to attend each Board meeting and each meeting of any committee on which he or she sits. Attendance in person is preferred but attendance by teleconference is permitted if necessary. Director Preparedness. Each director should be familiar with the agenda for each meeting, have carefully reviewed all other materials distributed in advance of the meeting, and be prepared to participate meaningfully in the meeting and to discuss all scheduled items of business. Confidentiality. The proceedings and deliberations of the Board and its committees are confidential. Each director will maintain the confidentiality of information received in connection with his or her service as a director. INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR EXECUTIVE SESSIONS An executive session of the independent directors will normally be held immediately following each meeting of the full Board at which only the independent directors will be present. The Chairman of the Board will preside at such executive sessions, unless the independent directors select another director to preside at a particular executive session. Any independent director may raise issues for discussion at any such executive session. The independent directors will maintain such records of the executive sessions as they deem appropriate. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The Company shall conduct, on an ongoing basis, a review of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations and all such transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee or another independent body of the Board. A related party transaction shall include those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K, Item 404. BOARD SELF-EVALUATION At least annually, the Board will evaluate its performance and effectiveness. COMMITTEES Committees. The Board will appoint from among its members, committees it determines are necessary or appropriate to conduct its business. Currently, the standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resource Development Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Finance Committee. Committee Composition. The composition of each committee shall comply with the requirements of any applicable law and regulation including, but not limited to, SOX and the rules and regulations of the Commission and Nasdaq. In particular, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation and Human Resource Development Committee will consist solely of independent directors. 4
5 Committee Charters. Each of the committees will have a written charter outlining its responsibilities. Charters will be adopted by the Board based on the recommendation of the applicable committee. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Human Resource Development Committee, shall have such composition and charter as meets the requirements of SOX and the rules and regulations of the Commission and Nasdaq. Committee Assignments and Rotation. Membership of each committee will be determined by the Board after receiving the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Consideration will be given to rotating committee memberships from time to time. Committee Self-Evaluation. At least annually, each of the Board committees will conduct an evaluation of its performance and effectiveness and will consider whether to recommend to the Board any changes to the committee's charter. Committee Reports. The Chairman of each Board committee will report to the full Board on the activities of his or her committee, including but not limited to the results of the committee's selfevaluation and any recommended changes to the committee's charter. BOARD RESOURCES Access to Employees. Directors will have full access to senior management of the Company and other employees on request to discuss the business and affairs of the Company. The Board expects that there will be regular opportunities for directors to meet with the CEO and other members of management in Board and committee meetings and in other formal or informal settings. Authority to Retain Advisors. It is normally expected that information regarding the Company's business and affairs will be provided to the Board by the Company s management and staff and by the Company's independent auditors. However, the Board and each committee has the authority to retain such outside advisors, including but not limited to accountants, legal counsel, and other experts, as it deems appropriate. The fees and expenses of any such advisors will be paid by the Company. LOANS TO DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall enter into lending relationships, deposit relationships, other banking relationships (such as depository, transfer, registrar, indenture trustee, trusts and estates, private banking, investment management, custodial, securities brokerage, cash management or similar services), or other commercial or financial relationships (whether direct or indirect) with a director or executive officer of the Company or entity (whether for profit, not for profit or otherwise) with which such director or executive officer is affiliated by reason of being a director, officer or a significant shareholder thereof, unless: (1) such relationships are in the ordinary course of business of the Company and are on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated persons; and (2) with respect to extensions of credit by the Company or its subsidiaries to such individuals or entities such extensions of credit have been made in compliance with applicable law, including but not limited to Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of
6 CEO PERFORMANCE REVIEW At least annually, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of the Company s goals and objectives. SUCCESSION PLANNING At least annually, the Board will review succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. Succession planning will address both succession in the ordinary course of business and contingency planning in case of unexpected events. INDEMNIFICATION The Company provides reasonable directors and officers liability insurance for the directors and shall indemnify the directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and shall enter into separate indemnification agreements with each director. CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics applicable the Company s directors, officers and employees to comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations including, without limitation, Nasdaq Rules. Each director is expected to be familiar with and to follow this code. In addition, directors must avoid any conflict between his or her own interests and the interests of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review any allegation that a director or executive officer may have violated the Code of Conduct and Ethics and will report its findings to the full Board. The Board does not envision that any waiver to this code will be authorized. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES REVISION The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board will review and revise these Corporate Governance Guidelines and related documents as and when appropriate. 6
